Let me get this straight: Iron Cross will play differently depending on which game you install it over? Or will it play the same independently of whether I install it over Armageddon or AoD?

If the former, this implies that IC should play better if I install it over AoD since that is more recent, and if I have only Armageddon, then perhaps I should buy both AoD and IC?

Hi Henri,
IC is an expansion.
DH and AoD are "new" games based upon the EU-engine that is also used for HOI2.

So you just have to make few adjustments to be compatible with all of them.
IC is therfore made compatibel with all of them.
And because IC is an expansion, it shares the features of the host(HOI2/AoD/DH).

IC has for each game(HOI2/AoD/DH) differnet compatibily files to enable it with these games(HOI2/AoD/DH)and plays a bit different as the 3 games gave differences tehmselves.
But with each of them(HOI2/AoD/DH) you will have the features of IC...

So if you want the features of AoD you have to have AoD. And it will play surely different as if you play IC witout this features of AoD, no? But you can play it allright if you have not AoD but Arma already and buy AoD later.. Or.. well..

dont know where to post this so. I(com china conquered most of China. Nat. China was annexed by Japan and the USA conquered the northeast and the south of china. Japan only holds small parts of indochina and their mainland. Im waiting for the surrender event to fire. Will it fire or do I have to fire it manually.

I have noticed that the Maps for IC and for DH are different. Now I understand that IC would run over DH, but since both maps are different from the original DDA (which i currently am running IC over) will the map from DH convert to the map from IC or are you changing that to accommodate the incredibly detailed map of DH. Or are we going to get SUPER lucky and the IC map and the DH map mix to create pure awesomeness. I really love the smaller province structure of IC. Also I apologize if this was already clarified. Thanks

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulse less heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden; full of fire with a burning heart and flaming soul? Humanly warm and humanly beautiful. Therefore, if you have the capacity to suffer or rejoice with the generation that have been; to hate with them, to love with them, to admire, to despise, to curse as they have done. To live among them with your whole heart and not alone with your cold, reflecting judgment. If so, then follow me. Remember though that your heart will guide you better than I.
Upon that I rely... and begin

If you play DH+Iron Cross you'll get both games features, including Iron Cross Map, events and New Nations + DH features except the DH's Map.

AoD & IC

Hey,

This may have already been addressed but I can't find it. I have AoD installed and then installed IC in the AoD directory. Is it now not possible to just play vanilla AoD? I clicked on the desktop icon and started AoD and got the IC load screen and then when I tried to load my save game from pre-IC installed AoD, it crashes.

Please tell me that I haven't lost my AoD games without having to reinstall AoD.
